XCOM: Enemy Unknown gamescom screens show aliens punching aliens

Seven screenshots for the upcoming tactical game XCOM: Enemy Unknown are in from gamescom, and feature (surprise) aliens and combat. Specifically, this is mostly alien on alien action -- the kind with guns, I mean.

If you've been living under a rock or perhaps a large pile of rocks (either of which would significantly impact your awareness of such important things like XCOM news), the game is developed by the wonderful Firaxis, known for their work on Civilization (the series, not so much life as we know it). It launches October.
